Amazing video of a bright fireball crashing into the earth has been featured on many news outlets. Along with the footage are photos of the crash site, which show metal spheres. Sources now say this "UFO" or "meteor" was really a piece of a satellite, in other words it was space junk.

With cases like these, it is difficult to know whether not we are looking at a meteor or "space junk" or crashing spacecraft!

If this "meteor" was really a piece of a satellite, could other "meteors" that have been reported on by the media also have been space debris?... Could a space storm launch our own satellites (known and MIA) and spacecraft right back at us? Or could there be a secret space war raging above our heads, as the late astronaut Edgar Mitchell suggested?

1/17/18 Update: Photos and videos are circulating online of the meteor reported to have directly hit Michigan on January 16th. Also, news reports are continuing to surface about the meteor impact, which caused houses to shake (earthquakes), loud booms to be heard in the air, and more.

According to video and testimony shared on an online forum, multiple reports of a fireball over the US were posted to Facebook, and along with it, many citizens experienced a brief flickering of lights. The bright meteor-like object was apparently spotted all over the countryside, from Texas to North Dakota, and during the same time frame, lights flickered in homes across Iowa and Nebraska, and possibly in New York too:

Curiously enough, there were many verified reports of fireballs over Colorado, according to AMSMeteors.org, but they were from January 16th, a night after these events.

What do you think of these eyewitness reports of a fireball, followed by mysterious but brief power outages? Could the events be related? Did you happen to see this fireball (or "UFO") as well? Share your photos or videos!

An incredible fireball descended over Russia, briefly turning night into day and sparking panic as witnesses suggested it could be a bomb or UFO. Many speculate, however, it was simply a meteor, specifically a "bolide," a meteor that explodes in the atmosphere.

A mysterious bright flash turned night into day over a huge area of Russia - sparking fears the US had launched a strike on North Korea.

The explosion of light accompanied by the 'ground shaking' was also blamed on a UFO visitation or a meteor exploding in the atmosphere.The phenomenon was seen and felt over thousands of miles in Russia, but was especially evident in three regions Bashkortostan, Udmurtia, and Tatarstan.[Daily Mail]

An extremely large, bright meteor (or "fireball") was seen and filmed falling down from the sky about a week ago, and hundreds of people reported it to AMSMeteors.org, with one witness even uploading a video of it, and famous paranormal investigator Amy Bruni tweeting about it, and informing TexasUFOs that she saw the fireball from Bristol, Rhode Island:

The fireball appeared to streak like a meteor, but iI'e NEVER seen a meteor of that size. Maybe it was VERY close to earth?

Without a doubt, what I witnessed today was something I have never seen or heard of before. It was so fast and beautiful, but fleeting

I saw it while driving across the bridge into Sea Bright. My wife was sitting next to me and didn't see it. She thought I was crazy. Ha Ha I am not.
